ReCreate Evil Dead ISO from BBA Dump

First of all, for the games that work in Chankast they look awsome! THANK YOU DEVS!

I would like to recreate the structure of my Evil Dead disk as a complete multi session ISO from the original files.

Using my BBA I was able to get the following tracks off of my Evil Dead disk.

#,Lba,Sectors,Name
1,150,754,track01.iso
2,904,526,track02.raw
3,45150,3536,track03.iso
4,48686,601,track04.raw
5,49287,500013,track05.iso

I believe that tracks 1-2 are part of the low density session, and tracks 3-5 are part of the high density session.

Based on what I have read so far in the forums I did the following so I could get at the files:
Code:
ISOFix track03.iso 45000
This created a bootfile.bin that looks like a valid IP.BIN in IPBIN4WIN. It also created a fixed.iso(94.5 MB) which appears to have all of the necessary files names (note the track03.iso was only 6.61 MB). I tried to extract the files with ISOBuster but not supprisingly every file had an error.
So I did the following:
Code:
copy /B fixed.iso+track04.raw+track05.iso high.iso
This time I was able to extract all of the files with ISOBuster sucessfully from high.iso (977 MB).

I've tried to fastboot,exoboot,selfboot,echelon... blah blah blah blah blah .. but no luck on making a useable EVIL DEAD image for Chankast.:term:

I thought that it might be due to the sort order of the files. (http://darkfalz.kiczek.com/sortproj/tutorial.htm) In IsoBuster I right clicked the volume name which is next to a little red box saying
"ISO" underneath Track 01 in the hierarchy. From the context menu, I selected "Directory tree and file information" -> "List tree-info (in txt file)" -> "LBA, Relative Path".
Code:
f2s FileList.txt sorttxt.txt
and then added
Code:
data/IP.BIN 0
to sorttxt.txt so that the IP.BIN would be the first read track after running the following.
Code:
BINHACK 1ST_READ.BIN IP.BIN 0
copy IP.BIN data
copy 1ST_READ.BIN data
mkisofs -C 0,0 -V EVIL_DEAD -no-pad -l -sort sorttxt.txt -o data.iso data
bin2boot data.iso IP.BIN 0
which is a modification of fastboot, but still no love with Chankast.

I feel like I am just missing some unspoken step. Is there anyone that still reads this forum that has been able to make a backup of EVIL DEAD and have it work with Chankast? I don't want one of the downsampled realease from the groups, I want the full audio from my own disk. This game is mostly about the audio since the game controls suck.

I have attached the FileList I have from Session 2 from ISOBuster if someone can take a look at it to determine if it is complete. Also from Session 1 here is the FileList from ISOBuster.
